Question

Solve for x.
6+17x=-15+14x
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=-7`

Explanation:

isolate the x by subtracting anyone, I'm going to subtract 14x from both sides so,

`6+3x=-15`

then subtract 6 from both sides to get x by itself so,

`3x=-21` [-15-6 is -21]

then divide both sides by 3 to simplify x so,

`x=-7` [-21/3 is -7]
